State departments of transportation (DOTs) are required by federal law to coordinate transportation planning and programming processes with metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the state. However, state DOTs and MPOs have varying coordination practices depending on their specific contexts.
NCHRP Synthesis 626: Practices for Statewide and MPO Coordination, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, documents current DOT strategies and practices to facilitate coordination between state DOTs and MPOs as well as common challenges and obstacles to coordination.
Supplemental to the report is Appendix C, which includes documents, legislation, and guidance related to coordination between DOTs and MPOs.
